Jharkhand is set to witness a significant political event today, November 28, as Hemant Soren takes oath as the Chief Minister for the fourth time. The grand swearing-in ceremony will be held at Morhabadi Ground in Ranchi. This event will not only mark a milestone for Soren but also showcase the strength of the opposition INDIA Bloc, with key national leaders in attendance.
Morhabadi Ground Prepares for Grand Ceremony
The swearing-in ceremony will be a major event with elaborate preparations and tight security. Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Hemant Soren. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance, which secured a decisive victory by winning 56 out of 81 seats, is returning to power, and the ceremony reflects their triumph. Special traffic and security arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth event, highlighting the significance of the occasion.
Hemant Soren's Message to the People
In the aftermath of the electoral victory, Hemant Soren expressed deep gratitude to the people of Jharkhand. He emphasized that this win reflects the aspirations of the people and pledged to work for the state's peace and progress. "We will work towards making the state peaceful and progressive," Soren stated. Ahead of the swearing-in, he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought the central government's cooperation for the state's development.
High-Profile Attendance from INDIA Bloc Leaders
The event will see the participation of prominent leaders from the INDIA Bloc, underscoring its importance in national politics. Among the likely attendees are:
Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal
Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress President
Sharad Pawar, NCP Chief
Rahul Gandhi, senior Congress leader
Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Chief Minister
Sukhwinder Sukhu, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister
Uddhav Thackeray, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader
Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister
Akhilesh Yadav, Samajwadi Party Chief
Their presence signifies solidarity and could signal an effort to strengthen opposition unity.
Cabinet Formation Plans
Hemant Soren will take the oath alone today, with the cabinet expansion scheduled for a later date. According to sources, the JMM is expected to secure six ministerial positions, while Congress will likely receive four, and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) may be allotted one. Initially, Congress had sought the Deputy Chief Minister’s position, but after negotiations, they settled for four ministerial posts. This distribution reflects the coalition's balance of power, ensuring smooth governance in the coming term.
With Hemant Soren’s leadership, Jharkhand embarks on a new chapter. The swearing-in ceremony serves as a platform for both state and national political dynamics, setting the stage for the next phase of governance in the state. The presence of senior opposition leaders from the INDIA Bloc adds to the event’s political weight, suggesting that Jharkhand’s political developments may have broader implications for the national landscape.
